Product Information

I saw this beautiful desk at Canonbury Antiques and quickly fell in love.

The simplicity of the design, richness of the materials, and functionality of the piece made me want to give this one two thumbs up.

3D Visualization

From the looks of the photo I think the desk is veneered in rosewood, and its drawers and pulls had chrome plating for decoration. Here is my 3D model of the desk.

I added some context: wooden paneling for walls, rich parquetry flooring, a chrome lamp, and a framed photo.

The photo, by the way, is one I took of the inside of the lobby of the Chrysler Building in New York.

Here’s the desk again, this time paired with an Art Deco bed to make a suite.

Get the Look

I couldn’t find the desk above from Canonbury Antiques, but they do have this other stunning Art Deco Vintage Desk in Rosewood for sale as of this writing.

The rosewood is just gorgeous, and the simple design is enhanced by the black ebonized trim. The half-star inlay on top is a lovely touch. There is a French Art Deco feel to this desk, with the gentle curve of the legs. Love it!

This magnificent Hekman Copley Square Kidney Writing Desk has a French Art Deco feel to it, replete with beautiful detail. It features a top veneer of mahogany and yewood. Four drawers including one file drawer on the right side, fan medallion inlays and Copley finish. Accentuated by hand-applied finishes on select mahogany solids with yewood and tulipwood inlay, this stunning piece is a showcase of craftsmanship. Available at Carolina Rustica.

Contemporary Takes

While not classified as “Art Deco”, these contemporary pieces carry the spirit: clean design, sleek lines, and a wood-and-chrome (or other metal) combination.

The Baldwin Desk in Wood and Chrome by Thrive Home Furnishings is a 1950s classic. The wood-chrome combination adds to the retro design and Mid-century charm. Four drawers give you plenty of space to separate and store all your tools, paper, and supplies.
